Well, foreigners in everyday life seem to be pretty uncommon. I get stared at wherever I go, though especially when I'm in an uncommon place like the second hand store or a bookshop (not so much in the supermarket, I've noticed). And I suspect I'm not stared at as much as they want to considering the way the kids act (staring all the time). I had a kid wave to me yesterday and I waved back and made her day *L* I'm average Japanese height so I don't stand out in that way, but I have long, brown hair and a very curvy figure, so I'm sure I stand out. I suppose I should be weirded out by the whole thing, but for some reason, I'm cool with it. Go figure.

It's the one in Fukuoka. I believe that's still Yamaguchi prefecture, but even if it isn't, that is the closest major city to here.
